The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



OCTOBEB 15, 1908. 



show will be held in the old Masonic 

 Temple, corner of Ninth and F streets, 

 N. W., November 12 to 15. W. F. Gude 

 spoke regarding a scale for judging 

 floral arrangements. The subject will 

 be taken up at the next meeting. 



A vase of Gladiolus America, sent by 

 John Lewis Childs, Floral Park, N. Y., 

 was on exhibition and Mr. Childs was 

 given a vote of thanks. A letter from 

 the former secretary, Charles MeCauley, 

 now located at Geneva, 111., was read. 

 He sent his best wishes. 



At adjournment Mr. Gude invited the 

 club to the basement, which was lavishly 

 decorated with foliage from the nearby 

 forest, with flags, bunting and the soft 

 light of Japanese lanterns. Four long 

 tables were spread with a bountiful re- 

 past, including fried chicken and such 

 other delicacies as only Mrs, Gude can 

 set before her guests. After justice had 

 been done to the good things to eat, sing- 

 ing and story-telling was in order. 

 Among those who contributed to the 

 entertainment were Messrs. Diehn, Cooke, 

 "W. F. Gude, Gottenkoenig, Gordon, 

 Eberly and Chausey, together with the 

 Kosebud Quartette. It was a late hour 

 when the host was surrounded by all 

 hands singing "For he's a jolly good 

 fellow," after which faces were turned 

 toward tne nation's capital. 



The next regular meeting comes on 

 election night, so it was decided to meet 

 Tuesday evening, October 27, as the 

 guest of Mr. Grillbortzer at Alexandria, 

 Va. 



Various Notes. 



Vernon Ley has opened his store on 

 Fourteenth street and is making a fine 

 showing. He has a nice lot of ferns 

 grown by his brother, Charles Ley, at 

 Langdon, D. C. 



Gude Bros. Co. has just completed 

 housecleaning, and with the new decora- 

 tions the store makes a fine appearance. 



W. F. Gude made a flying trip to 

 Philadelphia last week. O. O. 



WORCESTER, MASS. 



The annual exhibition and banquet of 

 the Worcester County Horticultural So- 

 ciety took place on the afternoon of 

 October 8, in Horticultural hall. The 

 collection of fruit was exceptionally 

 good and there were many exhibitors in 

 the various lines. 



President George Calvin Rice was mas- 

 ter of the feast and the guests included 

 E. H. Burlingame, president of the 

 Rhode Island Horticultural Society; 

 Gen. Charles W. Wood, Worcester; Will 

 S. Smith, secretary of the Rhode Island 

 Horticultural Society; George S. Ladd, 

 Sturbridge; J. Lewis Ellsworth, Worces- 

 ter, secretary of the state board of agri- 

 culture; R. H. Bownen, Providence, and 

 J. K. Greene, all of whom spoke. 



NEW ORLEANS. 



The New Orleans Horticultural Society 

 will hold its annual show in the early 

 part of November, and intending exhibit- 

 ors are working hard in preparation for 

 the event, as competition is keen. The 

 consequence will be that an unusually 

 good selection will be shown, especially 

 in chrysanthemums. It is probable that 

 the Society of Southern Florists, an 

 organization founded some two years 

 ago, composed of florists of all the Gulf 

 states, will hold its convention in this 

 city during the local flower show, and 

 that its floral exhibit will be held in con- 

 nection with it.
